It could even be said that the biggest gymnast that ever existed was not safe from Larry Nassar.
Simone Biles was one of the many victims of sexual abuse of the former coach; It will spend the rest of his life behind the cars after abusing more than 100 gymnasts, many of which were Olympic aspiring, and much less gold medals winners.
Biles revealed in 2018 that he was abused by Nassar, and at an audience in 2021, said the FBI “turned a blind eye” to the accusations.

Jordan Chiles, one of Biles’s teammates, was never abused by Nassar, and although the two have made history together, Chiles said that the two “never” had talked about their abuse of Biles.
“When everything happened, believe me, I was devastated. Even so, to this day, I have never talked to her about it,” Chiles told People Magazine. “I don’t think he talked to her about it, because that was her life, and you never know how difficult it is in someone.

“I think that only having my presence was the best thing I could give it, instead of sitting somewhere and having a complete conversation because that is very devastating. If we ever have the conversation, literally I would probably cry.”
“She is a very, very strong woman,” added Chiles. “We both had the same goals. We both had things we wanted to achieve, and look at it now, it is an Olympic three times, has a husband, she is a mother for dogs. She has done great things and continues her life without really having to really concentrate on what her past was.”

Nassar, who was the main doctor of the National Women’s Gymnastics Team of the USA from 1996 to 2014, was imprisoned in 2018, and at least 500 people accused Nassar of Assault, who dates back to his time in the state of Michigan.
